Orode Uduaghan speaks on her crashed marriage as her ex husband, Ryan Okpu, remarries

 
   Ryan Okpu, one of the sons of Raymond Okpu, an economist on the board of Intercontinental homes, has remarried. Ryan was married to Orode, daughter of former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan for four years before walking out of the union in 2016 due to ‘irreconcilable differences.’

   Kemi Ashefon reports that Ryan is now re-married to another woman and they have kids together.
 Though the identity of the lady isn’t known, its obvious Ryan, has moved on and dumped Orode with two kids.

   On his Instagram page, he wrote in the bio, “New Life, New Fam, New Beginning, Me, Myself, my kids and Hers.” (sic) According to reliable sources, he walked out of his marriage to Orode because he did not get proceeds he expected from the marriage. Findings revealed that unknown to Orode, Ryan wooed her and got married to her simply because he wanted to lay his hands on her father’s wealth, business and political contacts.

  He allegedly manipulated her and made her fall in love with him in a desperate bid to fulfill his lust for affluence. Thus when they got married on November 12, 2011, Ryan was ecstatic. He felt he had achieved his aims and would thereafter enjoy certain perks of being in-law to a governor; such perks include access to highly lucrative contracts and so on.

   He felt Orode was his meal ticket hence he would never lack in money and other luxuries associated with power. Unknown to Ryan, Orode was hardly the bimbo he thought she was. Contrary to his dreams of using her as leverage to her father’s wealth, she rebuffed all his attempts to turn her to his meal ticket. The beautiful mother of two was allegedly too principled to be used like an ordinary bimbo. She reportedly counselled Ryan to work for his money stressing that she would rather they prospered by dint of hardwork than profit off her father’s affluence.

   This surely didn’t go down well with Ryan as he saw his dreams of luxury and power disappeared into thin air. Eventually, he counted his losses and walked out of his marriage with the ex-governor’s daughter. Sources close to the family revealed that their marriage hit an iceberg soon after Orode bore Ryan their second child in January 2015.

   Orode is currently single, runs her mum’s restaurant in Lagos and also studying for her post-graduate degree. Pretty and young mother of two, Orode Uduaghan seems not troubled by whatever news is filtering about her ex husband, Ryan Okpu. The now single mum of two, who is now living a deeper Christian life, will hit 29 years in July. Formerly married to Ryan Okpu, she has revealed in an interview with Fabmumng.com that she would give marriage another shot.

   Known to talk about her life as a single mum, Orode told Fabmumng, “It’s not easy filling in the gap. I am living my dreams. I am not trying to be an awesome mum for the world to see that all is well and good, no. Sometimes all is not well, sometimes it difficult. I mean, it was hard- it still is hard. It not the funniest thing that I wanted, it was what I had to do to be honest; it really all boils down to God. There are still dark days, there are still days where I ask myself some questions, should I have been better, should I have seen signs, what mistakes did I make? But the moment when God really stepped into the picture for me was when it became easier. I enjoy the gift of marriage, knowing what God intended for marriage and I want to experience it properly some day. I want to be married. I tell God every day that you are going to bring me a man that I will enjoy marriage with.”

   Asked if she was considering marrying again and she responded: “By God’s grace, I will of course, it’s a beautiful thing when done right and in God. (laughs).” Before Ryan, Orode dated former West African Idol’s contestant, Eric Arubayi (now late) who was her longtime boyfriend. Even her parents had thought Eric would be the lucky man. But the roller coaster relationship ended sadly. No one could tell why they broke up since the younger Uduaghan’s parents took an instant liking to the light skinned handsome dude so much so that it was alleged in some quarters that the older Arubayi was made the Vice Chancellor of Delta State University, Abraka because of the young lads’ relationship, which both families had thought would end on a good note.
